KutMaster

The Utica Cutlery Company was founded in 1910 by a group of prominent Utica, NY businessmen. It was felt that a metal working industry would create employment and bring economic balance to the area. The primary industry in Utica at the time was textile manufacturing.

The company has continuously manufactured pocket knives since 1910. In 1918, fixed blade kitchen cutlery was added. During World War II, the company manufactured bayonets and carbine parts and earned Utica the coveted Army-Navy E., as well as a number of other awards. Stainless flatware was added to the line in 1952 and has been continuously manufactured and marketed by the company since that time. The flatware program was substantially enhanced during the mid-seventies with the addition of imported flatware. This broadened the line by adding a number of new qualities and price points.

Today, Utica's KutMaster® division manufactures and imports a wide range of pocket, lockback, fixed blade, and liner lock knives. KutMaster holds patents on several multi-purpose tools which are manufactured in Utica, NY. In addition to folding knives, a wide array of cutlery and picnic sets are offered in both set and kit configurations.
